That the Berkshires, that segment of the Appalachian Mountains, mostly in western Massachusetts, offer state parks and forests (and, the home of the Tanglewood summer music festival) with exquisite scenery and charming villages is undeniable. What surprised me was to learn today that the Berkshires actually hosts enough of a Jewish Population to have a "Jewish Federation", that including their own newsletter and internet site. And on that site, a commentary about Israeli wines. See the entry at http://www.jewishberkshires.org:80/page.aspx?id=183804
